All coaching manuals around the world state that a left handed bowler has the edge over batsmen. Thus, it is no surprise that Shapoor Zadran has a stern dominance over the batsmen who face him. The 31-year-old Zadran has been the spearhead of the Afghanistan attack since the inception of Afghan cricket. He remains Afghanistan’s highest wicket-taker in T20Is with 47 scalps in 45 matches. He also boasts of a decent economy rate of 6.39.
